Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the last remaining NHRA class that required the use of carburetors?

Answer: Pro Stock

Pro Stock in 2006 was the only remaining class that had not converted their fuel delivery systems to electronic fuel injection.

2. What was the largest rear axle ratio allowed in NHRA Pro Mod in 2006?

Answer: 4.11

The larger your rear axle ratio, the faster your car will accelerate, but your top speed will be tremendously affected.

3. What does "CFM" stand for?

Answer: Cubic feet of air per minute

CFM refers to the maximum amount of air that can flow into the intake manifold via a carburetor or throttle body.

4. Computer controlled suspension systems are not allowed in the NHRA, so instead of using traction control, they use what?

Answer: Any of these

Traction bars are heavy steel beams that preload the suspension for minimal traction loss during takeoff. Trailing arms keep the wheels aligned on high powered race cars while they go down the track. Ladder bars are highly strengthened traction bars that are used on cars with massive horsepower.

5. Top Fuel and Funny Cars used what type of transmission?

Answer: 2-speed pneumatic

Top Fuel and Funny Cars used a 2-speed pneumatic transmission actuated by an airshifter in the cockpit.

6. What type of ignition systems did Top Fuel and Funny Cars use in the season?

Answer: Twin electronic distributors

Top Fuel and Funny Cars used Twin electronic distributors that produce over 3,500 sparks during every run. This achieved maximum fuel burn-off.

7. All NHRA classes used what type of electrical ignition signal?

Answer: Analog

An analog ignition signal is required so that ignition voltage can be adjusted.

8. On an OHV engine, the camshaft is located where?

Answer: Engine valley

OHV engines are popular with drag racers for there ability to take more abuse and punishment than OHC engines.

9. Funny Cars used 4-link suspensions systems with live rear axles.

Answer: True

Funny cars used 4-link suspensions instead of 2-links for their added rigidity. They also used live axles instead of independent axles for maximum traction.

10. Excess boost on Top Fuel style blowers is vented by what device?

Answer: Air bypass valve

Excess boost on superchargers is vented by an electrically controlled air bypass valve. Waste gates and blow-off valves vent excess boost on turbochargers.
